Best TEAS Tutor and very relatable!!!

Ms Jade did an amazing job to help my daughter not only pass the TEAS test but also to exceed the school and our standards!! Before being tutored by Ms Jade her score was was a 63% in Reading, she was 2 points shy of what her required. After only 3 hours (2 sessions) her score increased to 82.1%. Her overall score increased to 88% which is considered as ADVANCED!!!! Ms. Jade tutored the entire session, she didn’t ramble like some tutors do. She was very relatable and interesting (My daughter gets bored easily, so this is important) . She even gave her YouTube videos and other helpful resources to work on after the session, so it made me feel like I got even more for my money!!! With God’s grace and Ms Jade’s help, she succeeded. Signed ONE PROUD MOM!!!

Great first experience !

Dr Jade was incredibly quick to respond and very helpful. After our session, she even provided extra practice with detailed answers. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable and attentive tutor!

Very Kind and Patient Tutor Best Teas tutor by far

I went from having a 52% overall to a 74% . She spaced it out and did very organized notes that made certain subjects easier to understand. I struggled in the science and the English and this time around taking the test they were my best subjects . If you need help in the TEAS or anything like that then I would look into getting her to tutor you . She works great with disabilities and will go at the pace that is best for you . I would know I have a learning disability .

SUPERB READING HELP, QUICK RESULTS, and WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Our daughter (9 years old) has been tutoring with Dr. Jade for over 5 months. We are so lucky to have found her. She took the time to listen to our concerns and understand our daughter’s learning needs. We are amazed by her progress in such a short period of time. Our daughter’s reading levels have increased by 2 grade levels! She also did outstanding on her Reading STAAR test, something we couldn’t have imagined months ago. Dr. Jade is always clear with her instruction, friendly, accessible, and provides feedback after every session. She is worth every penny, and you will see results quickly. Highly recommend!

Jade has helped me to understand the Teas Chemistry

I am surprised at how well, and how fast I have adopted to the Chemistry principles, and is now able to master the questions I once knew nothing about. It's my first time doing Chemistry and I love it very much.

Frances, 15 lessons with Jade

Knowledgeable and patient

Went over the topic, helpful in understanding the topics. Gave videos to review for homework, she was patient and helpful. Preparing for teas and going over the main topic is very helpful

BEST TEAS TUTOR

Jade hands down guided me all the way to passing the teas. First she laid out all the concepts for EACH subject of the teas, section by section. She has a lot of helpful resources she can give and teach for the science and math section. I wasn't doing well on reading practice exams, or any for that matter. She would teach me a subject(F.E. reading), and I would bring any practice problems that I got wrong to her. She would take her time to explain why my I may have had that thought process, but then would tell me the key wording/point I missed. That made looking at the TEAS type of questions SO much less challenging. After she showed me how to answer AND think about questions is when I noticed my scores were going up A LOT, especially in reading and english. Jade really has knowledge about the TEAS that you can not get from a youtube video or smart edition/mometrix. Without Jade's wise and meticulous guidance, my score on the TEAS would be no where close to what I got.

Marvin, 5 lessons with Jade

Very friendly and knowledgeable

We are focusing on anatomy and physiology for my upcoming TEAS test. She makes sure to cover all the bases and has great print outs that I’ve been using. I feel like I’m actually retaining the information.

Emily, 7 lessons with Jade
